A polyolefin material having improved fibrillation properties, allowing one to achieve higher yield in cigarette filters made from the fibrillated material, includes between about 70% and about 99% of at least one polypropylene homopolymer with a melt index of between about 1.2 to about 3.0 (measured according to ISO standard 1133 at 230 DEG C, 2.16 kgf) and a density of about 0.905 g/cc, and between about 1% and about 30% of at least one low density polyethylene homopolymer with a melt index of between about 0.9 and 3.0 (measured according to ISO standard 1133 at 190 DEG C, 2.16 kgf) and a density of about 0.921 g/cc.
